What would crack easier? An iPhone 6 or an iPad air?

If I took a hammer to each of the screens, which would crack first with a minimum amount of force? If I put a screen protector on it, would it change the answer of which one would crack first? I tried to pick two models which had similar frames. If the using different models actually makes it a simpler problem go ahead and try it.

Patience, Borek. Before unleashing your inner beast, you must create the hypothesizes!

Anyway, assuming both gadgets use the same Gorilla glass and you put the hammer on the center of their screens: I believe the iPad air will crack easier due to the fact that the iPhone 6 is smaller and a bit thicker & denser. This means it has more support from the frames, and the shockwave can dissipate more easily. than in iPad Air.

Besides, I'd imagine they've built the iPhone 6 much sturdier due to its predisposition to be dropped as well.

Though honestly the iPhone 6's a large area, very thin aluminum phone.

In the follow up video he bends a similar (slightly thicker?) plastic phone, and it bends back. While trying to bend the aluminum phone back, cracks it. Nice demonstration of plastic vs. elastic material behavior, ironically plastic being the elastic one here.

Mhm, but I wouldn't do that too many times; it can't be good for the components inside. At any rate, how would you get into a situation where this bending business becomes an issue? As long as you don't try to sit on a large but thin phone while wearing super-skinny jeans this shouldn't be a problem.

But if there's a screen protector on it, would the shockwave dissipate easier in the iPad air since there's more surface area? They're meant to absorb most of the impact.
